Between this and the AES debate tonight, it's refreshing to hear this from democrats. I'm glad every question is not treated as an opportunity to pivot to "kitchen table issues," but is instead met with all the reasons why the R is a gigantic piece of shit.

Happy weekend! 🦔 ❤️ Here’s a lovely ancient Egyptian blue faience hedgehog made some 3,800 years ago! Neues Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a small ancient Egyptian turquoise-coloured blue faience hedgehog figurine, shown in 3/4 profile facing right. Dimensions: Height x width x depth: 5 x 5.5 x 9.3 cm. It has a rounded body densely covered with small raised pointed spines each of which are emphasised with black paint. It has a small wide face with a pointed snout. The snout has a small chip at the end. The eyes are highlighted with black pigment. It has relatively long oval-shaped ears, either side of the face. It has short stubby front legs. It sits on a pale display case surface at the Neues Museum in Berlin.

I got back home a bit ago from Tennessee's execution of Christa Pike. We sat in the witness room for nearly 2 and a half hours as she received two rounds of pentobarbital. She was taken away in an ambulance shortly after that and I can't say for sure if she is dead or alive at this moment.

another iceland fact

tourists are posting pictures from several different places in the country and tagging them with the name "gjaldskylda". they seem to be under the impression that it's the toponym of the beautiful waterfall/lava field/mountain/etc. they're visiting.

gjaldskylda means "you have to pay to park here" and it's on an unreasonable amount of signs

So Trump “was surprised” to learn that his Defense Secretary is destroying morale and merit at the Pentagon. Then again, if your 80-year-old brain was being force-fed AI slop all day and night by your nurse-companion, you’d be surprised to learn that there are 12 eggs in a dozen. Gift link below
Trump was surprised when Driscoll told him how many generals and other top officers had been fired, pushed out, or passed over for promotion under Hegseth, one of the people said. Driscoll argued that the Army could not transform itself the way it needs to, because of the departure of so many leaders, this person said, adding that Trump expressed concern about the deep cuts to the Army's senior leadership. Driscoll informed the president of his intention to resign-and by today, Driscoll was on his way out.

*sigh* the original title is 熟肉 (Juku Niku) which in MANDARIN is "cooked (maybe also fried) meat." In Japanese, the two characters literally mean "Mature Meat" but it's not an existing phrase. It's a neologism because this is a BBW (the "meat") fetish video with "mature" ladies.

Easily one of the most spectacular natural events I’ve ever seen: an endless river of Sooty Shearwaters along the Washington coast. These ocean-dwelling birds migrate 40,000 miles each year, foraging in massive flocks. This went nonstop for at least an hour. Best estimate is 100,000 birds.

let's also note that Mamdani's mother is Hindu; his family is interfaith, and, even if he wasn't mayor, he would have better reason than this critic to know that there's no monolithic "Hindu politics." Objecting to an RSS leader speaking in NYC is an effort to stigmatize bigots, not Hindus

As someone who comes from a country that actually did do a civil war, what I find fascinating about these people is that their idea of a civil war seems to come entirely from movies. They just don’t know what a civil war is.
